What do you do when you love someone so much that you stand by and watch them hurt themselves by not taking care of themselves at all. To the point where they don't take their meds, they are awake ALL hours of the night and spend 24 hours a day on the computer.

Then they land in the hospital in ICU and almost die due to respiratory failure. But yet they wake up from it and then survive to get moved to a private room, first thing they ask for is this D*MN computer. Do you take it to them so they can continue on this life of destruction or do you try to step in and save their lives.

You have already lost one parent, do you really need to lose the other? I am torn because this is my life. I want my mom around forever but she is determined to live in destruction mode.

She can barely walk. She will need physical therapy and occupational therapy but all she cares about is this computer. I want her to realize there is MORE to life then the blasted computer.

I had to cancel this year's trip because of her health. So I want to make that a goal for her for next year but I am afraid that she will have a relapse again. I can't take anymore stress. I am so sick to my stomach, that I just want to smash the computer because it has taken away my mom's life so to speak.
